[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1542?page=comments#action_73138 ] Jeff Maxwell commented on MNG-1542: -----------------------------------
Actually my fix had a bug. filter may be passed as NULL leading to a NPE Here is the fixed code: if ((filter != null) && (filter.include(artifact))|| node.filterTrail(filter)) This allows me to create filesets of all one type. <maven2:dependencies verbose="true" filesetId="maven.cpp.dependency.fileset" type="zip"> <pom refid="maven.project.pom" /> <localRepository refid="maven.local.repository"/> </maven2:dependencies> > type attribute of artifact:dependencies doesn't work for indirect dependencies > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-1542 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1542 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Ant tasks > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Tomislav Bodor > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: build.xml, pom.xml > > > It appears that the type filter doesn't work properly with indirect > dependencies. It doesn't look like an issue with the TypeArtifactFilter > itself, but somewhere deeper. However, it's related to this feature, so here > it is... > The problem manifests with transitive dependencies that are of different > type, e.g. a war artefact depends on a jar library. Whatever the type in that > case (jar or war), the dependency list returned by artifact:dependencies is > empty. > I've traced through it and here is some more information: > DefaultArtifactCollector applies the filter using ResolutionNode.filterTrail. > This iterates over the (dependency) node trail and applies the specified > filter to each dependency in turn. If all dependencies are of the same type > and the type matches the one specified in the filter, no problems. However, > I've got a dependency that is a war archive and that in turn has some jar > dependencies. If type is set to jar, filter fails when testing the first > dependency in the trail - the war in this case and never gets to the jar. The > result is that whatever the value of the type attribute, the dependency list > always ends up empty for trails that contain dependencies of different types. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
